    2023 UEV-14

    I went with a TadiBrothers rear camera and clip-on rearview mirror monitor. It doesn't work very well. I'd like to know what the next-level best is to replace it.

    2023 UEV-14

    BoonieGoonie, So far the only mods I've made of any significance has been to add a DC-DC charger, a wireless rear view camera and a lower flow shower head. Oh, and I wrapped the water lines, water and grey tanks.

    2023 UEV-14

    Great to hear about your UEV-14 purchase! I'm sure you spent a lot less than we did at the height of Covid. We call our trailer The Beast and our neighbors and friends called it the Urban Assault Vehicle. Now we are thinking of a vinyl wrap to change the color and cover up the CONQUEROR...

    2023 UEV-14

    ROA has been great in supporting us with our trailer. Without the them, my ability to work on the trailer myself, and what I know about OBI, I honestly wouldn't have bought new. Are new UEV-14s even available in the USA anymore?

    2023 UEV-14

    Yes, actually. I forgot about a leak around the skylight over the dinette. I finally tracked it to an incomplete caulking job around the gland on the roof for the entry for the solar panel wiring. I also renewed the caulking around the skylight and bathroom vent. So far so good. We've...

    2023 UEV-14

    After 2 years owning our UEV-14 and many miles dragging it off-road, I don't think you are crazy to look at one at all. IIRC, it's about 1000 lbs. lighter than a Dweller of the same size and the layout has been perfect for us. Have I had to make repairs? Yes, on outside latches to the rear...

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    The Dweller might be different from our Conqueror, but i was able to unbolt the diamond plate from each tank when i wrapped them with insulation. The bolts that hold the diamond plate also go through mounting holes in the tank. In this way, the diamond plate can be removed without removing the...

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    When on shore power, it seems the charge on the batteries would be enough to keep up with 12v heating pads and when not on shore power, it's a little more efficient. Why not buy 12v tank heaters and wire them directly into the battery bank?

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    LaBlaze, I did not use any glue, just clamps. I used an appropriately sized barbed M-M plastic connector available in the plumbing section of a local hardware store. So far so good.

    I mean inside here. I found a black powder coated decorative L-bracket at HD made out of steel and cut it to fit. Bolts to hold it in place. You might just make out the stock metal bracket starting to fatigue in the upper right.

    Here’s the extra length of clear pipe I inserted. Like the Dweller cousins, our Conqueror’s length of hose was simply too short from the factory and it had a tendency to slip off the fitting.

    Yes! I extended the hose with an extra foot of tubing from HD. What were they thinking!?

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    Honestly, if you hadn’t mentioned the flickering lights, I wouldn’t thought it a problem worth tracking down. It only happens very briefly when it does at all. I wouldn’t say the Victron has a problem really.

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    Interesting the solar charge controller affected the inverter/charger to such a degree. I don’t know enough to guess how this might be. Any ideas? I upgraded to a Victron MPPT controller at time of purchase so don’t know any different. Thanks for the suggestion this might be the reason for the...

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    I recently had strange behavior with the Renogy inverter charger in that it was not charging the 5 x LiFePo battery bank fully. Your mileage may vary, but ultimately it turned out the two little screws that held the unit off the floor had bounced out. This resulted in the unit resting on some...

    OBI Dweller Review and Discussion

    Has anyone experienced bending and cracking of the latch plate for the pop out bed platform? Specifically, the thin metal plate that holds the rear bed platform up when stowed? Yesterday I reinforced both sides with powder coated steel L brackets and 1/4" bolts from HD. Took some cutting and...
